threat and horror
Occasional undetailed references are made to terrorism. There is brief archive footage of the aftermath of a bomb attack and a protester is forcibly moved by police; these images are not detailed and are historically contextualised.
language
There is mild bad language ('shit', 'bloody') as well as milder terms such as 'Jesus', 'Christ' and 'hell'.
discrimination
Brief and infrequent references are made to an Irish man being considered an 'outsider' due to his Polish name; this is mentioned in a historical context, however, and discrimination is not condoned.
alcohol and smoking
Adults occasionally drink alcohol.
suicide and self-harm
A brief, comic reference to suicide is made in the context of missing out on a lottery win.
theme
There is brief mention of historical abortion restrictions in Ireland.
